Different textiles have different levels of shrinkage resistance. Cotton, wool, silk, linen, and hemp are among the fabrics that shrink easily. Natural fiber fabrics are more likely to shrink than clothing made of synthetic fibers. Natural fibers (such as cotton and wool) are somewhat stretchy and can shrink in response to heat and agitation. Synthetic materials (like polyester and nylon) typically don't shrink too much. Any clothing item that has been "pre-shrunk" by the manufacturer has obviously already been washed; as a result, they should be quite resistant to further shrinkage. Spandex will, however, shrink in the dryer. For this reason, the majority of athleisure companies advise air-drying your clothing.
